Organelles help keep the cell alive.They are surrounded by membranes.Each type of organelle has a specific function that helps the cell.Several kinds of organelles are suspended in the cytoplasm. Organs help pump blood to all parts of your body.


Organelles are like organs on the cellular level, rather than the larger organs that are comprised of tissues. They carry out basic functions like transportation (ER), storing/creating energy (mitochondria), digesting food (lysosome) among other processes that are necessary for the cell to fucntion.
